I endorse this regional.

Re: Bracketology and the PairWise Rankings II

Do I fly into Boston or is there a better place?

Providence is not far at all from Worcester, about a 45 minute drive.

Re: Bracketology and the PairWise Rankings II

Not Hartford, if not Logan, fly into Manchester NH. Its a pretty short drive

I've gone through Bradley which is midway between Hartford and Springfield. It is a very easy airport to navigate(1 terminal) and flights sometimes are cheaper than to Boston. Don't count it out. Manchester, Boston, Providence and Bradley are all about the same distance to Worcester if you plan on renting a car. Flights to Worcester are mainly just from Myrtle Beach, SC on DirectAir.

Most definately Bradley Airport (Hartford/Springfield) is closest to Worcester.
Southwest flies in there if they fly out of an airport near you.

Mapquest says from Worcester to Bradley Int Airport = 71 mi, 1hr17min, to Manch Int Airport = 69 mi; 1h24min, to Logan Int Airport = 49 mi, 60min, to T.F. Green Airport = 49 mi, 58min. So, TFG south of Providence wins just barely over Boston's Logan, with cheaper tolls. But, as noted, some airlines into TFGreen, Manchvegas, and Bradley may have much cheaper fares than Logan.

Driving out of Logan through the tunnel and then through Boston can add an hour to any trip to Worcester. Bradley and TF Green are your best bets.

No fair! Why is Cornell allowed to win 3 games this weekend to improve its PWR?

Driving out of Logan through the tunnel and then through Boston can add an hour to any trip to Worcester...

...and add 30 points to your blood pressure, and cost you $20 for the effort!

You don't go through Boston to get to Worcester. You take the Mass Pike. The backups are at rush hour at the toll booths. Otherwise, it's a pretty easy drive.

But I agree that Logan isn't so much better that it's the only option, especially if you get in at rush hour.

Not to mention the possibility of concrete ceiling panals in the tunnel falling down, crushing your car and killing you and all of your friends and loved ones. This could happen!

You don't go through Boston to get to Worcester. You take the Mass Pike.

...Which goes directly under the city of Boston.
